About this vessel
The Apache 41 hull was designed by the famous offshore wizard, Bobby Saccenti in 1984 & made a dominating impact in the offshore racing world that same year, winning the 1985 APBA Class 2 World Championship. This hull is a true rough water tamer.
“TATONKA” is powered by twin 1100HP 557 cubic inch Sterlings (13 hrs) with 2 superchargers per engine and #6 drives (13 hrs).
Notes from the owner: “Purchased the boat in 2017 from the 4th owner in New Jersey and it was 100% original! It was time for some love. Brought the boat to Michigan where it began its over-haul. Everything was stripped from the boat except for the cabin. New everything, Sterling 1100’s, velvet transmissions, alcantara interior, fashion link stereo, JL speakers and sub, all gauges, Garmin GPS, new cockpit cover, #6 dry sumps where re-built by TNT, bearings, seals and new drive shafts, all new paint, new stainless rub rail, new LED nav lights. Have full mooring cover for storage or transportation. Paint done by T&D Custom Painting. Rigging done by Art Cook Marine. Motors done by Sterling Performance. Drives by TNT. Interior by Appearance Products. 2019 pulled drives and had serviced at TNT, replaced seals and gear sets. Removed cabin interior. Installed (2) bulkheads to stop bow from flexing, and creating a hair line crack along the faring. All (6) new tires. Bearing, seals, rotors, pads and hydraulic over electric brake assembly, electric jack stand, all supplied from MYCO. May 2022 – Blew time belt on port motor @ 230 hours. Pulled both motors, transmissions and drives from boat. Sterling completed rebuilds. TNT services drives. Removed all components from engine compartment to re-paint epoxy. Moved all (6) pumps to the bow bulkhead for accessibility, and (4) of the (6) where not accessible with the motors installed. Re-installed all of the above, except for the interior. Boat is set up for a half cabin now. I have all of the removed panels. Ran the boat 13 hours since all of the above, has been stored inside heated storage ever since I have owned the boat. Have receipts for all work and just had the boat surveyed last fall.”
